Children’s product compliance on Shopify
What a compliant Shopify children’s store documents
- A CPC per product, kept on file and furnished on request — serious brands publish it on the product page.
- Test reports from CPSC-accepted laboratories for every cited rule.
- Tracking labels on product and packaging, and registration cards for durable products.
Turn compliance into a conversion asset
Marketplace sellers hide compliance; DTC brands should showcase it. A downloadable CPC, named laboratory, and testing date on the product page are trust signals that convert — and the same files satisfy any future marketplace expansion or CPSC inquiry.
Questions people ask
Does Shopify ever ask for a CPC?
Rarely, and usually only after a complaint or regulatory contact. Plan as if no one will ever check, then document so anyone can.
Do I need a CPC for dropshipped children’s products?
Yes: as the importer or seller placing children’s products into US commerce, the certification duty follows the product. Dropshipping changes logistics, not law.
